qemu to linux mapping of smbios / dmi information

Mappings for DMI/SMBIOS to Linux and dmidecode

Information can be put into dmi tables via some qemu-system hosts (x86_64 and aarch64). That information is exposed in Linux under /sys/class/dmi/id and can be read with dmidecode. The names are very annoyingly inconsistent. The point of this doc is to map them.

Mappings

Example qemu cmdline:

qemu-system-x86_64 -smbios type=<type>,field=value[,...]

qemu-system-x86_64 -smbios type=0,vendor=superco,version=1.2.3

darkguy2008 / KVM OSX Guest 10.11 (El Capitan) with Clover.md
Created February 15, 2021 21:55 — forked from gordonturner/KVM OSX Guest 10.11 (El Capitan) with Clover.md

KVM OSX Guest 10.11 (El Capitan) with Clover

  • Some notes about this approach:
    • An OSX Installer USB drive for Install OS X El Capitan is created
    • Clover is then installed on the USB drive
    • Clover Configurator is then run on the USB drive
    • The USB drive contents are copied to the VM host
    • VNC is used to connect to the guest UI
  • The qxl virtual video device is used (part of the standard kvm qemu install)
